So none of the in-line drills have an a air chamber? I assume you mean these:

I have a bosch green ( whatever the most common size is - it was $99, still with original blade) that I use when I need to protect my TS75 ;)

Man am I looking forward to building my hall table later this month. I am booked in for the course that runs on the 23rd, 24th and 25th - and will be driving down from Sydney the weekend after to...

Thank you, I'll have to try it. I have done the same thing with oxides to make epoxy black for example.

How much do you add, and in what order? Do you mix the dust with one part, and once it is thoroughly mixed in do you then add the other part?

I'm hanging out for this information - and I hope it goes well for you.

Alan! That is amazing? What beautiful contrast between the light and the dark parts of the timber.

I also like how the drawer is hidden inside. When you say in the fourth phase of your...

I have the vipers, and I've been wondering about the difference between them and the other sutton "drill bits" for a while. I have the V3M set - that is 1 - 13mm in 0.5 rises. I think Bunnings sells...

I'm pretty new to all of this too, but I have been looking at makita drills online for a while now. It seems that the 452 is being superceded by the 454. I think the differences are that the 454 has...

Prolonging the life of my impact drill. Impact drills will wear out - especially if one drills into concrete. For smaller jobs, with only a handful of rawl plugs, I would never bother with the RHD....

I use both a bosch blue impact drill, and an ozito RHD on the job most days. I very rarely start a hole with the ozito. As has been stated several times, it is inaccurate and clumsy. I start the...

I have used two printed coupons so far. Both last night, and both within 20 minutes of one another. I had a classic beef pie, and a classic beef and cheese travellers pie.

Its 1 per person per...

All you need to do is print out this

And you can get a free pie - daily. Now that's good news.

Please let everyone see this...

Thank you for all of the great information everyone. I like your ideas. I've been working on my table and my saw horses today. I built some saw horses that are a rough approximation of this design...

I understand that festool has standardised their blade kerf at 2.2mm Is that the case?

Thanks team.

I'm starting to understand the system a lot better now.

Is worth it's weight in gold.

I'd love an excuse. :D:D:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I always ring, and not just when I go to carbatec. I hate the stock not being in.

:o Good thing I haven't relied on it yet!

I just measured the 1 by 1, 2 by 1, 3 by 2 I was sold yesterday. This is Fingerjointed Primed DAR timber -

1 by 1 - 18 by 18
2 by 1 - 42 by 18
3 by 2...

Being an entirely metric man myself, and young and inexperienced, I find conversions between imperial and metric and other similar units quit complicated. I find all this 2 by 4 business can...

Good question, How do you do that? :wink: I'm just an enthusiastic festool owner - ignore me.

I hope it goes really well for you, and also, I checked my metabo and it was dead straight :p Shows what I know.

Thanks Vek - its great hearing some behind the scenes info. So it is per-importer then is it?

Who busted them for fraud? Who got wise? Is this covered in another thread.

If you can be bothered, can you explain what you mean? Is this a problem that is per seller? Or would that only apply to the initial importer? Is that because they aren't already on the market?

Here is a video on the subject. Its a bit slow, but it shows multiple different options, and its easier than driving around town looking at the same two models again and again.

I have a similar question.

When I run a straight edge along my fence, I find that the fence is concave when looking at the saw from the operator side. Is this normal? I have seen this a few times...

How hard were you working them? When you say the dewalts seem to stand up a lot better, how long do they stand up? I don't want to but these every year. ( I'm a handyman/carpenter )

Did you end up purchasing this mitre saw stand? I am very interested in buying this one, or one very similar to it.

Are the 18v and 24v NiCad systems so bad as to make them not worth getting, even if I can get a whole kit for the price of a lithium drill/impact driver combo?

Lignum -

I understand that this course runs over four weeks, is there any way that it could be done over say a long weekend, so that maybe a bunch of us from Sydney could come down for a weekend...

There is no contest. The TS75 is the way to go. It is that much easier to move around and store. The tracks hang nicely on the wall, and if you stick with festool - some of the other tools ( such as...

So who else can we turn to for good stuff - are we left with mr ply and the big b? Surely not.

And a search reveals no hits of brims. I can't get into any of the sites. Are brims no more? Shame, they had some nice stuff.

The guns are quite cheap ( some around $15 ) maybe you could borrow one or buy a cheap one, and the maybe hire a compressor from bunnings? You don't need a spray booth, you just need a roll of tape...

So I just dropped home for lunch and to grab some sanding pads for my Bosch PSM 160:

So, and now I am really hijacking this thread, how would the Festool ets 150/5 handle resurfacing my hobie cat hulls? If I had to have just one Festool sander, but I wanted to be able to do a bit of...

Do those size restrictions include fasteners? So everything would have to be glued?

Standard sheet - 2400 by 1200 :wink:

Awesome! So I should go ahead and start doing this asap. Its one of those ideas that is just so obvious once you've seen it. I am liking the idea about the door. I am a compulsive hoarder of doors,...

Hello all,

I own and use a TS75 for most of my sheet cutting - which is this:http://www.hermance.com/library/images/Manufac/Festool/561188.jpg

I am always cutting plywood panels with half the...

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I would like to ask some questions about these sanders relative to the pneumatic orbital sanders?

I would be doing a mixture of low to medium quality...

Hi,

My name is Tom.

I am almost obsessed with tools, materials and DIY, which of course includes woodworking. I am currently working as a handyman, which like any job worth having, gives me an...

The one I bought was the OZCD144V2BK - which according to the specs sheet on the ozito website has 18Nm of torque. This is the one I can't stand.

The one you are talking about has 36Nm of torque -...

That is a beautiful thing!

I bought a bosch proffesional 14.4v for 189 - i use it daily - and have no complaints at all.

I also got sucked in by an ozito hammer/drill/driver - 89. I am disgusted by the terrible quality, and...

My girlfriend thinks that this is really funny - "It's a joke!!" She'll laughing at your post like its riddled with puns.

Is there any way to stop this? Should I keep them out of the heat as well...

Usually the transformers still work when you take them from Australia to the US, but I don't know about the other way. I expected to just use a converter of some sort if there was a problem.

If you don't have the skills/tools to rebate a 16mm channel along the upper edge of the supporting timber you can just rest it on top, and cover the edge of the melamine shelf with a strip of iron on...

Thanks for the tips! So when I scan it should I keep a record of the transaction number - when you say write the date on it, do you mean write the date that is on the receipt, or the date of the...

My bunnings receipts keep fading. I keep them all in a filing cabinet! And when I take the older ones ( one year plus) they are almost illegible. Does anyone else have problems?

Do you...
